K14RK-D,virtual channel14 (UHFdigitalchannel 14), is alow-powertelevision stationlicensedtoPhoenix, Arizona,United States. The station is owned by Good News Broadcasting Network, Inc. Its transmitter is located on South Mountain.
History
[edit]The station began with an originalconstruction permitforK69FM(channel 69), granted to Broadcasting Systems of Phoenix on August 19, 1988. The station was licensed on January 11, 1990, with city of license of South Phoenix. Early programming is unknown. In February 1991, the station was sold to Polar Broadcasting of Arizona, aSan Francisco, California-based company, who shortly thereafter applied to move the station to channel 67 and change the city of license to Phoenix. The station licensed its new facilities and its callsign was changed toK67FEin December 1992.
In June 1996, Polar Broadcasting sold the station to Paxson Communications (nowIon Media Networksand the station became part of Infomall TV Network, or inTV. Paxson Communications sold the station in August 1999 to Spanish Independent Broadcasting Network, who changed the programming toSpanishindependent,rebroadcastingKWHY-TV(channel 22) ofLos Angeles,California. The next year, needing to vacate the upper-700 MHz band (channels 60 - 69), the station applied for and was granted a permit to move to channel 53. The station was licensed in June 2002 asK53GF.Since then, the station has dropped the KWHY-TV rebroadcast and operates as an independent station, airing mostlymoviesandinfomercialsfor localcar dealers.
In May 2005, K53GF received a request to vacate channel 53 fromAloha Partners,who were winners of theFCCauction for the spectrum now occupied by channel 54.[2]However, with theDTVconversion still in process, there were no suitable in-core channels to which K53GF could move their analog operations. Instead, they requested to operate as a low-power digital TV station (LPDTV) on channel 38 and the FCC granted a construction permit in October 2005 to build LPDTV stationK38IZ-D.In the meantime, Aloha Partners has not launched its proposed service to Public Safety,[3]and K53GF remained on the air on analog channel 53 until May 2010. Aloha Partners and its channel 54/59 spectrum were acquired on February 4, 2008, byAT&T Mobility.[4]
On October 27, 2008, the station filed for special temporary authorization (STA) to continue broadcasting the analog signal until 2009.[5]The station began digital operation under program test authority on October 30, 2008.
